I installed these dimmers with LEDP3120WH - 120V Direct LED Puck Light Kit. When I turn the power back on the lights pulse/flicker constantly. Ideas?

The two may not be compatible. LED dimmers must be matched to the LED light, or vice versa. Look for a phone number on the LED light or the dimmer package and give them a call. They gave me a web page to look at that had compatible dimmers.

I had to purchase a lutron dvcl 153p al dimmer diva to solve the pulsing LED lights. This dimmer works great.

I am posting what my husband said as he installed he dimmer. It depends on the "kit" and the light bulbs used. I noticed some LED bulbs (or those "curly" bulbs) do not work with dimmers.

Push the adjustment lever up a bit to feed more baseline power to the bulb.

My best advice would be to go to Lowes or Home Depot and check if the size/plug are the same.Do keep in mind though that, if you have dimmers, they have to be LED compatible dimmers otherwise you may be able to mount 1 or 2 before they start 'flickering' and you're living in a constant 'disco'....

Usually this is because your dimmer isn't rated high enough wattage..... check the watts on the light and multiply by three..... go to the electrical supply house and they can get u a dimmer that will work with them

Yes, mine seems much dimmer and flickers..doesnt bother me, but i assume it was meant to be like this.

They shouldn't flicker unless there is a loose connection of some sort. Are you experiencing a problem with them? Thank you, Ty Devereaux OffRoad Innovations

They work great, but when it's in the dimmest position and they are off you try to turn them on there's a lag and a flicker.

I am not having that problem with mine it has not blown any circuits, it is plugged into a timer and then into a wall outlet. However mine does flicker and dim on occasion and I am not sure why. I check the connections and it seems fine then one day it is bright again.

Make sure you are using a high-quality dimmer and one preferably tested and marketed to use with LED lighting. I have been able to dim my bulbs to about 50 percent. Below that, the light flickers or goes completely dark.

I use LUTRON C.L Dimmers. They work for all types of bulbs. If there is buzzing with these dimmer switches then there is a problem with the bulb and you should return it.

The dimmer itself should not have any affect on buzzing. Flickering could be due to the wiring coming loose when placed back into the wall after attaching. If you've checked the connecters and all is good, try the original switch to determine if it is indeed the product. If that is the case, you should defo return it. If the problem occurs with your old switch, that means the fault is not in the product. Hope this helps.

Electrician here... this is most likely an issue with the switch you are using. Modern electronic style dimmers do not completely turn off the power when in the lowest (off) position. If you have an electronic dimmer switch look at it very closely and you should see a small pull tap (usually pretty inconspicuous), this is a "maintenance" off switch. Pull it out and see if your flickering goes away, if so then you will need to install a different switch.

If you connect the dimmer control between the power source and the splitter or a single light bar it should work just fine. Try both setups to see if the splitter is the problem. If you get only an on/off response or nothing at all with that connection I am sure Lightwiki will quickly replace your dimmer control. Just so you know, my entire system worked great right out of the box and is still working fine. Mike

All the warranty questions are answered on there website. I had the same flickering issues. I'm on my third and final coast.

Mine do fine until you get to very low levels. Also seems to be sensitive to how quickly you move the dimmer- slower is better for avoiding a flicker.

They flicker when you dim them. I wouldn't recommend it for dimming. Sorry. We bought in bulk for standard lighting but have dimmers on them but don't use it.

make sure you turn down the dimmer level located on the front of the metal box - I didn't notice this at first but there is a dial that can be shifted from "-" to "+" Once I turned it down, I discovered my LED lights dimmed down to almost nothing, which was my goal.

Hi, my purpose for using the puck lights is for short term use. Sporadic use may be a more correct term. I use them for spot lighting short term use. If I need more light on a food project I tap on the light. I don't leave them on longer than 5 min at a time. I turn them all on if the electricity is out, do what I need to do and shut them off. I believe they are just for short term use. I believe in the directions it says not to leave them on for more than 30 min at a time
